        Google, Mercedes and Volvo stated they would self-insure their products back in 2015, meaning that if the vehicle is in autonomous mode (easy to check because they are computers in wheels) they would be liable. This is the most likely path forward.

        This is the most interesting claim against robot cars: "Killing fewer people kills our humanity".

        Can't wait for all the robot humans to let robot cars drive them. Not for me, thanks. As long as the robots "stay right except to pass" I'm fine. Now, give me an autobahn lane between LA and LV.

        I’m looking forward to my automated commute to work. Not dealing with crazy drivers. Just tell the car where to go, and let me go back to sleep. 😴

        Over 37.000 people will die in traffic accidents in the US in 2018. If cars didn’t exist and a co. created them with this estimate, would we accept that. Computers will for sure be better at driving than people. The next generation won’t be able to fathom why we took such risks.

        Don't agree at all. On the freeway, commuting in general, taxis, in fact, any business will involve some form of robot. But there will always be "vanity" cars - like vanity license plates. These can be used to "express our humanity." But not used regularly. Perhaps special lanes

        You must mean "your brain" because some people can drive very well, prefer to drive themselves, and will continue to do so.
